Find from Maughold
Archaeology
A slab of Manx slate which was said to have originally been found on the beach at Port Mooar but was found in 1965 by Mr J. Faragher and Rev W.G.S. Duckworth on the removal of flagstones from the floor of the sexton's house in the village (in Plot 808 on the 1870 1:2500 scale Ordnance Survey map).
The stone bears a horizontal runic inscription in two lines on one face which appears to say Kuansunr x mailb ( ) ak + kerpi + lik + tinniftir +:+ Kuinasina +. The original stone is kept at the Manx Museum and a cast is kept in Maughold Churchyard.
